reconstruction of paleo-environment

Geochemical Conditions of Contemporary and Destroyed Soils of Curegenal Burials of the Forest-steppe Zone of the Middle Volga Region

The article presents data on the development of approaches to the reconstruction of the paleo-environment of the habitat of the Lugovo culture by means of the conjugate analysis of the soil-archeological and geochemical parameters of the soils of settlements and buried soils of the burial mounds.
